Good morning, Powell. The gap between student housing demand and supply has reached a tipping point at Ohio State, where the university just secured off-campus apartments for 500 students after enrolling its largest freshman class ever. This creative solution transforms two Statehouse Columbus buildings into de facto dormitories, complete with the same amenities and support services students would find on campus—though 175 current residents will need to find new homes as part of the arrangement.
As Earth Day approaches, Marysville's Main Street is calling for helping hands during their "Meet Up To Cleanup" event on April 22. Meanwhile, the farming community mourns the loss of a true agricultural legend in Roger Stewart, who at 95 leaves behind not just a four-generation legacy but countless stories from a life that spanned the evolution from horse-drawn plows to self-driving tractors. His 75-year marriage and lifelong community service remind us what it means to live fully.

🏠 Ohio State secures off-campus housing for 500 students. The university has partnered with Statehouse Columbus to address housing needs after enrolling its largest-ever freshman class. Two apartment buildings—Statehouse Lane and Statehouse Norwich—will serve as dormitories for first and second-year students during the next academic year. Approximately 175 current residents will be relocated to comparable properties. The arrangement will include the same amenities and support services as on-campus housing, with the possibility of extending the partnership in future years.
🌍 Marysville's Main Street invites locals to clean up for Earth Day. The "Meet Up To Cleanup: Earth Day" event will take place Tuesday, April 22, starting at 4:30 p.m. at Partners Park Gazebo. Volunteers need only to sign up online and show up ready to help beautify the Uptown area during the one-hour community cleanup. The City of Marysville will provide all necessary supplies for participants. After tidying up, volunteers can enjoy a social happy hour with drinks and snacks at a location to be announced during the event.
👨🌾 Farming legend Roger Stewart dies at 95, leaving four-generation legacy. The Irwin, Ohio farmer witnessed agriculture evolve from horse-drawn plows to self-driving tractors during his lifetime of working the land. Known for his quick wit and humor, Stewart never met a stranger and remained the "life of the party" throughout his years. His 75-year marriage to high school sweetheart Lila included dancing from school lunchrooms to their living room, alongside travels to numerous countries. A dedicated community servant, Stewart held the distinction of being the oldest Lions Club president in Ohio during his 60+ years of membership.
